After the master making process (writing process) is finished, the master
feed motor turns off and the cutter motor [A] starts turning in the reverse di-
rection as indicated by the arrow.
The cutter motor drives the wire pulley [B] through the gears [C], [D], [E],
and [F]. This is to shift the cutter unit to the rear (non-operation side). As
the cutter [G] rotates and travels to the rear, it cuts the master.
When the right cutter switch [H] turns on, the cutter motor starts turning in
the opposite direction to return the cutter unit to the front (operation side).
When the left cutter switch [I] turns on, the cutter motor stops. This finishes
the master cutting process.
After the master cutting process is finished, the master is fed about 42 milli-
meters.
